My school prides itself in blocking the command prompt.
Spoiler For the secret:
They don't know about batch files.
My school is the same, except they left Windows Powershell in the Start Menu. :P


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Haha I love finding workarounds, meaning their computers are less secure than they thought...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

It's also funny to laugh at how silly the filters are sometimes. For instance, xkcd is blocked. The reason? The filter classified the site as "adult.games". Of course, we can just open up Google Translate, and get to xkcd that way. :P

EDIT: My friend's mom works at the school. He stayed after in the tech department one day waiting for her. They (the tech department) didn't know what an IP address was.
My old school blocked it too. My secret, <windows key>-r, c, m, d, enter
They also had a huge list of blocked sites, but the easiest way to get around the web-filter was to use ssl >.<
Our schools system was so full of security holes I'm surprised it only went down twice in 3 years

I love our local library. They've got a locked-down copy of Firefox that can only browse the catalog, and I tried everything to get around it. They also took damn near everything out of the Start Menu...but they left Printer and Fax Settings.

All you have to do is just type a URL into the path box! :P
See you, space cowboy...

Doesn't work in 7, although there IS a link to the Internet in the help file anyway....

My school has cmd enabled, but they block a lot of commands. They also block the windows key, idk why.

When my district upgraded to '7, the IT department took the easy route and had all the computers boot off a network drive. I soon discovered that I could change the boot order in the BIOS (which they left open btw) and make the computers start XP again. So I did that a few computers each day, and some tech ppl fixed it but I just changed more until I got caught. I did it partly so I could play minecraft, as the graphics drivers with windows 7 did not support opengl D: .

Booting an entire lab of 7 PCs off of the network sounds awful. D:


Also, juju, that's what your school gets for using software from the late 90's on Windows 7. :P

On a computer-related note, you have no idea what they did to some computers last night at Juju's school during a party with his class O.O
